A guide to Bridal shower invitations Every wedding is preceded with the penultimate bridal shower, it is a tradition that women look forward to just before the wedding. If not anything, it is an excuse for the girls to gather together and have a fun evening and take some steam of right before the wedding and keep everyone in a fun mood. There are presents to be opened and fun to be had. Depending on the budget, the affair may be a grand one or a low key event. It is a chance for the maid of honor to make it a memorable evening of unbridled creativity.
The mood, theme and guest list for the bridal shower is to be decided upon by the organizers before the invitations are sent out. Flowers need to be ordered, music has to be chosen and favors selected and that by no means is an easy task. Mostly, bridal shower ideas will comprise a theme that will be carried through from the venue to the food and everything in between. Bridal showers are usually afternoon tea on the weekend wherein the guests are dressed up and is as though it is a wedding rehearsal by itself. The general mood of the shower should correspond with the brides personality and interests and only the closest person can get it right.
As for the perfect timing to send out the invitations, this can be tricky because if you send invitations out too late, your guests might already have other plans, while if you send them out too far in advance, you run the risk of guests forgetting about the Shower altogether. Keeping all that in mind, its good timing to send the invitations 2 to 3 weeks in advance Youll give guests time to clear their schedules and find that perfect gift and its not so far in advance that they will forget about the Shower.
The prevailing rules of etiquette dictate that every adult be sent an individual invitation, however, in the event of a couple shower, the couple ought to be sent one common invitation. Two females living in one residence get an invitation each. In the event that the bride is having another shower, it is prudent to avoid inviting the guests of the other shower to this bridal shower. If you must overlap the guest lists to avoid offending anyone, be sure to let the overlapping guests know that you dont expect them to bring ANOTHER gift, that you would simply enjoy their company.
For the invitation, go with the theme of the bridal shower.The invitations can either be purchased online or made personally or made at the store.
Now you are all set to enjoy the bridal shower
